Anna Wintour is the most powerful woman in the global fashion industry, the first lady of fashion. She's a politician; I'm a stylist. They are two very different jobs.

When you love fashion, there is no weekend. Everything just blends together.

I do think fashion is fun! Much more than people think.

I think that life has brought a lot to fashion, and fashion brings plenty to life. I took my children on photo shoots, at the same time, I borrowed my father's sweater for a photo shoot and, then, I am inspired by a Russian princess because of my Russian roots. Everything is all mixed in together.

Fashion's about extravagance, and everyone needs a bit of that.

Coco Chanel was always doing things with ballet, so it is a tradition clashing fashion and ballet.

Like this. The wristbands you get at nightclubs next to all the bracelets? It's always the details that give me the ideas. It's fun to play with fashion because it is a fantasy. Each morning you dress to become a different woman. Fashion helps.

Fashion is very tough, and we shouldn't forget that before designers were money-makers, they were artists.

Each morning, you dress to become a different woman. Fashion helps.
